A Secret Service Agent had multiple phone calls in 2020 with members of the far-right militia group the Oath Keepers

More evidence showing that the January 6th insurrection was an inside job:

Staff members of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigative committee have been briefed on multiple phone calls in 2020 between an agent in the Secret Service’s protective intelligence division and members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group, NBC News reported Friday.

The House select committee on Friday requested from the Secret Service all records related to communications between the agency and the Oath Keepers, including any contacts leading up to and after the violent Jan. 6, 2021, invasion of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters, NBC reported.

Spotify’s Joe Rogan has repeatedly spread the baseless conspiracy theory that January 6 was a false flag orchestrated by the FBI

Rogan makes money for Spotify by spreading lies, hate, and disinformation:

Spotify’s Joe Rogan has repeatedly and baselessly claimed that the January 6 insurrection was fueled in part by FBI agents acting as so-called “agent provocateurs” who were “in the audience calling for people to go into the Capitol.” Rogan promoted this conspiracy theory at least five times in the past year on his Spotify-exclusive podcast, which was the most popular podcast on the platform in 2020 and 2021.

There is no evidence to support the conspiracy theory that the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, was incited by FBI agents. These baseless claims originated with the right-wing group Stop Hate, which has ties to the violent far-right group the Proud Boys and the “Stop the Steal” campaign that helped incite the insurrection.

Sen. Cory Booker said ‘there should be no super PACs for anyone,’ but now he’s raising money for one

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker used to hate on super PACs, saying "there should be no super PACs for anyone."

Now, less than a month away from the 2022 midterm election, he’s raising money for a super PAC — one led by former Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

In a fundraising email this week, Booker asked his supporters to contribute to the Giffords PAC, founded by Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly — now a US senator representing Arizona — to elect supporters of gun control to public office.

"The cost of gun violence is immeasurable," he wrote in the email. "Every gunshot wound and every mass shooting leaves an indelible mark on our nation’s soul."

More people are living in New York City shelters than at any point in decades, according to figures released by the city’s Homeless Services Department Tuesday, underscoring an escalating crisis related in part to the surge in the number of asylum seekers arriving in New York City in recent months.

As of Sunday, at least 62,070 people were being housed in city shelters, surpassing heights set in January of 2019 when 61,415 were staying in city shelters on a single night, according to DHS records.

While the city has only released a daily count monthly totals going back to 2013, records collected by the Coalition for the Homeless show the current level of homelessness has been unparalleled since the early 1980’s, when the earliest records were collected.
